Tenderfoot Thahd DarkXen Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 I remember in the old Geneforge games 1-3 I believe. Using canisters would change (I think more than 2) the story ending. Is this still true? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 It depends upon the game. Pretty much use too many and you get angry at dealing with idiots. Geneforge 1 - Mutagen requires you to use one canister to open the door in the Docks to play the game. Bothe versions of Geneforge 1 give different dialogue when you use more than a certain number of canisters and if you use the Geneforge. Geneforge 2 and 3 both change dialogue above a certain number. Geneforgre 4 require you to use a modified Geneforge to play the game. Also changes dialogue above a certain number. Geneforge 5 doesn't really matter since only a few places changed the dialogue.

Ineffable Wingbolt Mechalibur Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 It affects one of the 3 major endings in Geneforge Mutagen, and only changes one of the lines. Since canisters are about the only way to learn new spells/creatures in Mutagen (it doesn't have the training system the other games have), I really don't recommend trying to limit your canister intake unless you want to do a challenge run.

Tenderfoot Thahd Stragbou Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 Somewhere on the forum I've read that it takes 5 canisters before you will have untrust from shapers in Mutagen's ending. If you want a challenge run, do not use canisters and on quiet marshes you will see if you are going for that one well string in ending.

Tenderfoot Thahd DarkXen Posted November 17, 2022 Author Share Posted November 17, 2022 Interesting. I enjoy the games more for the story, I suppose a challenge run wouldn't be out of the question though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall alhoon Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 Geneforge 2, out of memory, has you becoming a cold butthole after a certain number of canisters. You walk into a town and see the living as non-important. Then, you go over another ratio and again in a town you see them as living clay for you to play with. I.e. you go bad-$$$$ crazy.

Ineffable Wingbolt Mechalibur Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 There's way more canister interactions in the later games, but that's because they're built around canisters being optional. Although you can still get your crazy ending in Mutagen Spoiler If you use the Geneforge, of course! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
